A lot of people have inquired about freezing the pies from Rise'n Roll. After speaking with them they DO NOT recommend freezing them. For best quality they said not to freeze them. The crust may be soggy once thawed.Thanks

Johnny AppleseedBig Huge Thank you to all who helped set up the booth on Friday, slopped/scooped coleslaw, and cleaned chicken or helped in any other way!! This is an all-hands-on-deck event, and you did not disappoint! It's a really fun/exhausting weekend but totally worth it.

Nelson's "Homecoming" ChickenI know the thought of chicken is a bit daunting to those who cleaned the 2500lbs of it Friday night, but trust me, come Homecoming Night, you will wish you had some delicious Nelson's chicken to eat instead of the concessions stand hotdogs. We ordered a fairly small quantity, so presales is the only way to ensure you get yours. Price is $6.50/chicken half (will be $7/ea for walk-up sales). Get your tickets anytime from Mom Pape or anytime you see the little orange table. Order forms are above the orange mailbox for those taking outside orders. You get $2/ticket for your band account. Chicken will be ready for pickup by 5pm Friday 9/23, in time for BOP dinner break, and will be kept warm until about 7:30.
